The Emperor of Heaven is the Emperor of Heaven after all, and for the first time after he arranged things, they did not say a word of rebuttal. But apparently they still have a lot to say, but Jing Rong used to prevaricate their reasons about me, so they had to give up.

Compared to the disappointment, apprehension, or confusion of a few of them, my mind was very worried. I vaguely felt that the topic that Jing Rong wanted to talk to me alone would be related to stones, but after thinking about it, I didn't know what aspects of him I would mention. I followed him to the study, pondering these questions, and soon we arrived at our destination.

"Scarlet Sakura, make this little girl a pot of hot tea, and then let the mountains and rivers guard outside, and don't let anyone get near here. ”

As soon as Jing Rong entered the door, he gave instructions to the maid who had been waiting here. The maidservant nodded softly to me after receiving the order, and went to the back hall to prepare hot tea for me. I sat on a chair while I flipped through the folds and carefully observed the furnishings and decorations in the room, and it wasn't until Scarlet Sakura reappeared that I withdrew my gaze.

"Well, have you seen enough? If you haven't seen enough, I'll give you a little more time, or you won't have the heart to read this when I'm done. ”

Jing Rong was talking to me while sipping tea, and I felt that the scene was a little embarrassing, so I immediately picked up the teacup, then lowered my head and shook it violently twice. Jing Rong smiled softly at my movements, but after he put down the teacup in his hand, he let out a long sigh.

"He has always wanted you to stay away from the war, so he has always lived simply, and I have promised him that he will spare your life, take good care of you in his place, and keep you away from the strife of the Three Realms. But I didn't expect that in the end you were involved by yourself, and I don't know if I want to blame myself for not taking you seriously, or scold you for always being nosy. ”

Jing Rong complained to me thoughtlessly, and there was a hint of grief in his eyes when he looked at me. I was inexplicably looked at by him, and I wanted to ask him if Si Nan had said something to him last time he was injured, but just as I was about to ask, I suddenly realized that maybe the one in Jing Rong's mouth was not Si Nan, but - stone.

As soon as this thought appeared, it took root in my heart like a seed, and I looked at him with wide eyes and disbelief, trembling, and asked in an inaudible voice:

"You mean...... It was the stone that once wanted you...... You want you to take care of me?"

"In fact, more than that, he himself has been taking care of you all the time. ”

It was as if I was trapped in a huge bell jar, and even though everything Jing Rong said was crisp and neat, it still rang the bell so loudly that I was at a loss and that I had nowhere to escape.

I stared blankly at the scene, tears streaming down my face without warning. Jing Rong looked back at me, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes, but he didn't give me a chance to ask or even breathe, and continued:

"I reminded you that what I'm going to say next may not be acceptable, but that doesn't mean you can say no. Listen to what I said, the stone you have been looking for, and the stone that made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, is now sealed in Sinan's body. When he went to see you that night, he left his heavenly soul in you, so that he lost the war, so that you could be in that disaster, so only you could wake him up. ”

Jing Rong's explanation to me was so cold that I despaired, I had imagined countless times in my mind that Shen Yuan would tell me the truth, and I had imagined countless answers they would tell me, but I never imagined that it would be in such a situation, that Jing Rong would reveal all this to me. I panicked, I was afraid, I instinctively wanted to reject this reality, but before I could say anything, Jing Rong continued:

"The Three Realms all thought that he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, because of the injustice between the Heavenly Realm and the Demon Clan, and because he had the ability to reach the heavens but could not show his strength in the Heavenly Realm and complete his ideals and ambitions. But in fact, even though he is a demon, I actually appreciate his abilities. I have had many long conversations with him, and each time I feel that his views are very unique, and if he is given a suitable position, he will definitely bring countless changes and hope to the Three Realms. That's what I thought, and that's what I did, but it didn't turn out the way I thought. ”

"The people of the Protoss are not able to accept the Demon Clan like me, so the treatment of the stone in the Heavenly Realm is indeed unsatisfactory. Although I rejected them many times, they still opposed him holding important positions in the Heavenly Realm, and eventually they even objected to him remaining in the Heavenly Realm. I really had no choice but to give him a position that was insignificant, even insulting, to him. I have been holding back with him, hoping to wait for an opportunity for the Celestial Clan to accept him and the Demon Clan, but we have failed. The people of the demon clan wanted to go to the heavenly realm to ask for an explanation because he had been so humiliated, but the two of us knew that this was just a joint provocation by people with intentions to take away the power in my hands. I wanted to join forces with him to put an end to the war, but it turned out that the racial question was a difficult chasm to cross. Before leaving, he said that he knew my intentions and knew that I really wanted all beings to be equal, so he would do his best to stop this war. If it succeeds, he hopes that I can convince the Protoss to give the Demon Clan a chance, and if it fails, let me kill him with my own hands, and then take good care of you. ”

"I promised him, and as he tried, so did I. But I didn't expect that the people of the Protoss would be so stubborn that they couldn't even accept the return of their souls. They jointly impeached the soul, and some even forced them with their lives. How can I bear to kill the soul, he is the one who saved my life, if I am not the Emperor of Heaven, I would rather die in his place. But I can only compromise for the sake of my agreement with him, and for the sake of the peace and longevity of the entire Three Realms in the future. ”

"The soul lost his life in the end, and the war went according to schedule. I became enemies with him, but we didn't forget our original purpose. We all thought that we would die at the hands of each other, but we never thought that Xitian would intervene in this matter. I sealed him in Sinan's body as quickly as I could, and then injected the spirit body of the six-eared macaque into his body, which saved him. I had thought that this would be the end of the matter, and that it would become an eternal secret in my heart. I even thought that after so many years of hard work, I had achieved our wishes, but I didn't expect that Shen Yuan would discover this secret, and I didn't expect that there were still people in this heavenly realm who had different intentions towards me. ”
